For only a few short months God lent them a little ton , Frank lin Pierce, which drew their hearts more closely together, and strengthened their faith in Him. But ere they had sipped of this cup of happiness it was dashed from them. The happy home is now deso late, the fond father's heart is broken, and the devoted mother longs with out stretched arms to take her darling to her bosom as of yore. Together they ga/.c into the unrevealed unknown and cry, ?'Why was our darling taken?"

From Tho Groenvillo Nowsi Darlington is Bald to produce the boat i><)kor players in the State with Edgefleld a close second. Darlington also produces a line typo of girls. Laurcns is tho most unlovol place in South Carolina unless it is Ohostor, Tho latter is also noted for its vine covorod hou808. Nowborry is roinarkablo for it- nar row streets and tho habit of its popu latlsn of coming to tho depots when the trains pass, to moot friends and bid them good-bye. Its public square al ways appears to bo crowded with peo ple* Everybody knows Columbia for her muddy water, tho beauty of her wide Btroota and splendid trees. Andorson is tho most prosperous and "solid" business town in the State in proportion to tho blowing about it. Andorson does not toll bnlf enough about horsolf. Charleston's crowning glory is unos tentatious hospitality. Churlestun peo are the most ditlicult people to arouse In the world, and onco aroused, are tho stubbornest lighters. Sumter 's tho prettiest town in the State south of tho Piedmont. It has a largo Jewish elomont who are public spirited and progressive. Alken is better known beyond the limits of the State than any town in it excopt Charleston. Spartanburg has a reputation for the "pull together" of its people in busi ness affairs and for wealthy men. Walhalla Is the only town in the Stato with a separately incorporated suburb divided from it by a quarter of u mile unincorporated "country'' ter ritory. It is the longest town in tho State. Lexington Is the only town in tho Stato supposed to be located on a rail road and Is not, -which a traveller discovers when ho leaves the train. Camden is in every way Charleston in miniature. There is even a mill pond at Camden which is as lovely on a small scale as the Charleston harbor, The Abbeville people an' prouder of their town than any other people in South Carolina. An Abbeville man thinks it is bettor to have been born in Abbevillo than with a title backed up by a fortune. Clinton Is celebrated for its good morals. Dort Royal is the city of great ex pectations just about to be realized, One naturally thinks of Beaufort in connection with a few beautiful homes and numerous old maumas selling tish and oysters in small shops. Wlnnsboro is full of Seeedors, Pres byterians and education. Florence is distinctively tin- railroad town of tho Stato.?not that it has more railroads but simply, a "railroad air about it.'' Georgetown ha* shells, live oaks history and long names for streets, churches, streams and organizations. We always think of Con way as though it were on another planet. Hamburg is the town of a prosperous past, a desolate present and apparently no future whatever. Rlaek River bream are the pride of K ingstree. Brauohvllle is tho oldest railroad center in the whole world. The "South Carolina" rail road was first to have a junction and It was at Branchvillo. One always associates Orangoburg with tho colored colleges but they are a small fragment of the town, which is lively enough. I'nion is another place which, like Abbeville and Camden. is noted for charming hospitality. Wo know little of .Marion but always think of it as a pretty town with pine trees and whlto sand. Cheraw l8 quaint and elderly In ap pearance. It has more lawyers than any town In tho Stale not a county soat. Kock Hill is famous for hustle. It is tho best advertiser of nil the towns. Croon wood has a multiplicity of rail roads and is a great place for tourna ments and frolics of that character. GatTney is a town that has grown In to commercial importance while many people woro not awaro of its existence. Yorkville has a newspaper that is famous In newspaper circles all over the country. And yet Yorkville Is not as well known as it should bo. Kdgofiold, town and country, pro duces tho most distinctive type in tho State. Kdgoflold people have positive qualities, Bometlmes good and somc timos bad. Tho practiced eye can re cognize tho Rugefioldlan instantly. Kdgoliold Is addicted to wide brimmed slouch hats and politics. And Greenville? Why, when the angels from Hoaven bless earth with a visit they stop inCroenvilo first, in or dor that the transition may not be too sudden. So Laurons is sot down as a city of "High Kollers." Who gave her this -character? "Best bottle of eo logno at I.aureus Drug Store or Posoy's to the lady who first supplies tho miss ing word."' OW1NGSVILLE. Tho health of tho community is very good at present. Tho farmers aro in good spirits on account of the recent rains. Wo hnvo not had enough rain at ono lime sinco wo planted our crop to slop the plow. Therefore we have had all opportunity to work out our crops to a stand ami give them a clean start. Tho fall sown oats aro very good, hut the spring sown otils, aro very poor. Mr. Alex Smith was through this seel ion last week with a sam ple washing machine. Mr. Jas. II.

Consumptives would never die if they could regain their usual weight. In fact there would be no consumption if there was no wasting of the system. The cause of this loss of flesh is a fail ure to properly digest the food eaten. Nine-tenths of all our dis eases date hack to some derange ment of the stomach. The Shaker Digestive Cordial will stop the wasting of the body. It acts by causing the food we eat to he digested so as to do good, for undigested food docs mure harm than good. The Cordial contains already digested and is a digester of food as well. Evciy mother hates tu make her children take Castor Oil.
